    • My bucket list: Skydive, Roadtrip, Public Speaking, Marriage+Kids, CEO of mid-size comp

      • Skydive
        There is nothing like flying through the air in total freefall. One of my best friends is an incredible gymnast and he said it was a huge rush.


        US Roadtrip
        I want to see more of America, this great country that I'm proud to be a citizen of, and I never got to do it during that highschool/college summer. It's never too late!


        Speak in front of 10,000 people.
        I like public speaking and I want to get so good that I'm asked to speak in front of this many people - and to nail the speech/presentation with such clarity, emotion and insight that people remember and start using ideas from it.


        Get married and have kids
        Boringly normal, this still makes the top 5 for sure. I want to find a partner in crime for all the great adventures I hope to have, and to bear children who will grow up to be smart, fun, passionate people!


        Run an organization of over 5000 people
        5000 people is a lot of people to be in charge of! I'd hope to set a great example of what a manager/leader can be, will taking the org to great successes in the short and long term.

    • I'm turning into my parents

      • I think I read this from Guy Kawasaki - the older you get the more you realize you're the ultimate combination of your parents. I'm super talkative, love people and ADD from my mom. I get my love of books, intellectual conversation, and my hate of complaining from my dad.

    • The real story behind my shoulder scar

      • I have a thick scar on my shoulder (technically a keloid) and people often think I had shoulder surgery. I tell everyone that it's from a really bad gymnastics accident, but the real story is much more mundane.

        In my old gym, we had to rip up the old floor boards and I was frustrated with how slowly we were lifting the boards. I decided to push my piece of the board up faster and it snapped. A piece of wood came down and cut my shoulder. I decided not to take care of it, so I'd get a "sweet scar". Turns out that was a dumb idea.
